Synopsis

Lisa Gungor thought she knew her own story: small-town girl meets boy in college and they blissfully walk down the aisle into happily ever after. Their Christian faith was their lens and foundation for everything—their marriage, their music, their dreams for the future. But as their dreams began to come true, she began to wonder if her religion was really representative of the ‘good news’ she had been taught.She never expected the questions to lead as far as they did when her husband told her he no longer believed in God. The death of a friend, the unraveling of relationships and career, the loss of a worldview, and the birth of a baby girl with two heart defects all led Lisa to a tumultuous place; one of depression and despair. And it was there that her perspective on everything changed. The Most Beautiful Thing I’ve Seen tells the story of what can happen when you dare to let go of what you think to be true; to shift the kaleidoscope and see new colors and dimension by way of broken pieces.Lisa’s eloquent, soul-stirring memoir brings you to a music stage before thousands of fans and a front porch where two people whisper words that scare them to the core. It is the story of how doubt can spark the beginning of deeper faith; how a baby born with a broken heart can bring love and healing to the hearts of many, and ultimately, how the hardest experience in life often ends up saving us.

Goodreads review by Mike on June 26, 2018

Have a box of tissues ready—I cried on almost every page. The Most Beautiful Thing I’ve Seen will pry open the most cynical heart. Lisa Gungor is honest in a way most of us are too afraid to be, and the result is a book that balms the wounds people carry if they’ve ever found themselves in the outsi......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on June 25, 2018

This is probably one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. I will admit at the start I was a bit taken back by the artistic and even seemingly “out there” style of writing/storytelling, but once I got into it and saw how the book was constructed, I realized that it is actually an artistic mast......more

Goodreads review by Ash on October 22, 2018

I hesitated to write a review for awhile because I respect and admire Lisa Gungor deeply. I also think, as a reader and writer, there is a difference between living a good story and writing one, so I write this for my fellow writers and readers who felt like they kept stubbing their toes on the word......more

Goodreads review by Jennie on September 28, 2018

I personally did not really care for this book. I am a follower of Jesus, and as such, a Christian. Lisa grew up in a fundamentalist church and from what I can tell, is basically saying that Christians (those who believe the Bible) are all narrow minded, uncaring people. I don't see how anyone who i......more
